The power of deliberate, randomized surfing: This afternoon I was doing a diagnostic traceroute for a down server, and happened to select a tracing server at the National Technical University of Athens. Then I clicked through to the English home page for the University and discovered this gem of a feature: a real-time traffic congestion map for Athens. Apparently the city is wired with sensors and a snapshot is generated at the transportation control centre every 30 seconds. If you've ever visited the capital of Greece, you know how bad the congrestion is. This web tool will be very useful to watch in August 2004, during the summer Olympic games -- assuming the Greeks are ready!
